What do you get? Silkie/Frizzle question

[Camelot Farms]

I have a black frizzle silkie hen and a splash silkie roo.

What might that combo produce?

thank you!

50% with frizzle feathers ( sizzles ) and 50% with normal feathers; I think - maybe some sizzle experts will post.....

Hi!
The black hen is silkie-feathered and frizzled?

Crossing back to a Silkie will give you all silkie-feathered chicks.
Half will be frizzled and silkie feathered, half will be smooth and silkie feathered.
Black x splash should give all blue chicks.
Good luck!

All will be silkie feathered if both birds have silkie feathers.

If only one does, then either half will have silkie and half not silkie or all will have not silkie. It depends on whether the non-silkie feathered parent has a copy of the silkie gene or not.

I have a black frizzle silkie hen

I assumed that meant the hen was frizzled and silkie-feathered and black.

Oh my...I think I have confused myself. So, maybe it will help if I post a pic of the hen and see if that helps. lol. Sorry folks. The whole silkie feather thing got me

Here she is...

She is older now, but this is all I have for a pic right now. Does it help?
And she may be more a gray than a black huh?

I don't know but she sure is cute!

Hi! She is just precious!!!
She doesn't look black --- more like a blue-something.
She looks like something that might have hatched from my Frizzle pen.
Since she has regular feathers (not silkie feathers), what Sonoran said applies.

That's a gray bird. Gray does not fall in the BBS - Andalusian blue group.

I don't know/remember the genetics for gray - that one is going to have to go to the color gurus. You'd likely get a mixed color pen. I sold the only gray produced here.
